Ditto! I feel like one of my belief systems has been shattered. I told my students a long time ago that pluto was a planet. I was teaching preschool…and then I find out that Pluto isn’t even a planet. That’s what I grew up learning. ![]()
I even had a mnemonic device to help remember the “9” planets in order. “My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.” And now there’s no pizza to serve! ![]()
Now it might as well be: “My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us…Nothing” Sigh ![]()
There was a time when the mention of Pluto conjured up 2 images in my mind…one of them being a distant icy “PLANET.”
But now…when I hear the word “Pluto”…I’m left with just one image…an orange colored mutt. ![]()
